We wouldn't get a big enough offer to justify selling him. Noone will pay stupid money for him, no one has made serious offers when he was playing well, so they certainly wouldn't pay top dollar now. I don't think anyone would offer over £25-30m in jan, and that doesn't get you much nowadays so i'd keep him and hope we can help him through this low and hope he can get back into top form.

To be fair anyone who wants to sell Ross is a moron. I don't know if they are mormons or not.

His inconsistency is discussed in this video. (Sorry if already posted)
At the end Trevor Sinclair says he's noticed how Ross is breathing very heavily in post-match interviews and suggests there may be a fitness issue.
Dean Saunders replies with "Well he smokes", before they all laugh it off.
Is there any truth in that? Or has it been discussed before on here?
Wouldn't surprise me given all the smoking talk around Jack Wilshere's lack of progress/fitness.

Wembley my uncle was playing, a day to remember for me, I was going to play for the same team but lost an eye in Aden while on National Service.
The game should have been settled before extra time, but when clean though Jack Stamps busted the ball and it floated down harmless into the goalkeepers arms.

Barkley no longer young talent – Koeman
Ronald Koeman said Ross Barkley "is no longer a young talent" as the Everton boss revealed he expects better performances from the midfielder.
Barkley, 22, was left out of the Everton team for the first time under Dutchman Koeman as the Toffees drew 1-1 at Manchester City on Saturday.
Koeman said the decision was "tactical" as he wanted to field a side "with more pressing than normal".
But he added that he hoped Barkley's omission was "a good wake-up call".
"He is already playing four years in the first team. You are not any more a talent, that means you need to show you have improved," Koeman said.
"I still believe in his qualities, but if I am not totally happy or it is a tactical question, he does not start. His reaction was positive. He was very disappointed, which you need to be."
Barkley has made 119 Everton appearances since making his debut in August 2011, when he was 17.
But former Toffees team-mate Leon Osman has questioned his consistencythis season and although he was in England's squad for Euro 2016 he has not been called up since.
Koeman said he expected his side to have "more possession than normal" in Saturday's 15:00 BST kick-off at Burnley, and suggested Barkley would return to the starting XI.
"[Against City] we played a little bit different than normal so I did not start with him, but that might change in the weekend," he said.
"You like to have the best team for the each game, and the weekend is a different game."
I really really hope Ross comes out fighting from this

"with more pressing than normal".
Ouch. It really is time for Barkley to shape up otherwise he will be gone in the summer.
